Your
Dollar
And be
A Junior.
One dollar all around.
Did any one say annual.
Kickers; well, we should smile.
Verily, the musical department boometh.
The snow was four inches deep on the level.
The Junior German class is reading Goeth's Prosa.
The roads are in a terrible condition since the snow went off.
Why was the absence of the town people so marked at the hop?
The Mandolin and Glee Clubs at the Cosley rink to-night will be very fine.
Every patriotic student who can, should go to Emporia to 'rah for Gilmore.
The I. C.s had a group photo of their chapter taken last Saturday at Shane's art gallery.
The Biennial Arch Council of Phi Psi gave the publication of the Shielo to the chapter here. No better selection could have been made, as Kansas Alpha is well able to publish a journal which will reflect honor upon the fraternity.
'86.
A meeting of the class of '86 was held at the end of the fourth hour Tuesday, President Clara Pochler presiding. It was decided to give an entertainment some time next May, and Bennett, Harry Smith and Gilmore were appointed a committee to decide upon what the programme should consist of. It was moved and carried that each male member of the class be assessed $1.00 to liquidate the debts of the class. It was furthermore moved and carried that any member who should refuse to pay his dollar should be debarred from all the rights and privileges of member ship.
Oread society was called to order by President Riggs, with a fair attendance. The program was a good one, as follows: Declamations, G. W. Harrington, Minnie Raught; reading, Morris Cox; essay, Edith Manley; orations, W. S. Franklin, Denton Dunn. A debate was held upon the question: Resolved, That there are occasions when lynch law is justifiable. The affirmative was supported by D. J. Dunn and F. C. Keys; the negative by W. H. Park and W. Y. Morgan. The judges decided in favor of the negative. The committee appointed to see about chartering the society asked another week, which was granted. The election of the June program was made a special order for March 6th, the performers to be elected in the following order: 1st, orator; 2d, debater; 3d, president of the Bayard evening; 4th, declaimer; 5th, essayist.
The Orophilian society will give the following excellent musical programme to-day:
W. E. HIGGINS, Choirster.
1. Quartette ...
2. Piano Solo... W. Dick
1. Quartette ...
3. Flute Duett... Messrs. Albach and Field.
4. Solo ... Miss Kate Merrill
4. Solo . . . . . . Miss Kate Merrill
5. Male Quartette... Crew, Howe,
Metcalfe and Hamilton.
6. Solo ... Miss Field
7. Flute Solo ... H. Albach
All invited.
Normal program for to-day: Essay, Clara Reasoner; declamations, Anna Beardsley; Hattie Black; elective exercises, Laura H. Rose, Cathie Ward; oration, M. E. Pierson; class exercise, M. L. Field. Debate, question: Resolved, That Canada should be annexed to the United States. Affirmative, Louis H. Rose, Flora B. Eddy; negative, M. T. Cummings, Laura Rose, Geographical spelling match.
It will be remembered that last year Oread society distinguished itself in the political line. This year came the reaction, and an Oread election has been as quiet as the boom for the Athletic Association. The lion and the lamb lay down peacefully, and all was quiet and serene. But things are not always what they seem, and once more there is music in the air and blood on the moon in the third story of the south wing. So far the fight has been free from the personal bitterness of last year. Let us hope it will continue so.
The Orophilian literary society was called to order at the usual hour, the speaker, Miss Greenamyer, presiding.
The regular election of officers took place, which resulted in S. M. Cool being elected speaker, and Miss Kirby, secretary. The program was unusually well rendered, proving that the members are beginning to realize that they should be on hand to perform their duty if they would preserve the prestige of Orophilian. The program was as follows: Declaration J. O. Ward; essays, Miss Kirby and Jennie Hulick. The essay of Miss Kirby, in which she compared the obstacles and hindrances to our success in life, but as the friction which polishes and refines our natures, was one of the best which we have had the pleasure of listening to in Orophilian in many a day. Miss Julia Powel read a choice selection, which was well rendered. Orations by Messrs. Ackley and Lane were both good, showing careful preparation, and were well delivered. After recess the question: Resolved. That all of the lands in the Indian territory not held by organized tribes of Indians should be opened up for settlement; discussed on the affirmative by Messrs. Cook and Olney; on the negative by Blair and Harris. The judges decided two in favor of the affirmative, one in favor of the negative. The program for this evening promises to be a good one. Come out everybody, and while they are having a boom in the territory, let's have one in Orophilian.
REPORTER
University Ball.
This long talked of and much expected event came off last Friday evening, and was an honor to the special young people of the University, and especially to the enterprisers members of '86. The grand ball began promptly at 9 o'clock, about thirty couple of K. S. U.'s sons and daughters were soon in the intricacies of the quarrel the mazy whirl of waltz and Everyone was bent on good time, and seemed to the endeavor. When it reached its length an O Pershall's was made, her man and woman were then dancing was resumed, her grew larger and larger, couples hardly noticing its It was full 4 o'clock when "extra" and "home sweet concluded the great success of university ball. '86 deserves for introducing the custom of singing the ball in the hands of a de-d management, and we hope '87 follow in the footsteps of her mistious predecessor.

The combination to rule or ruin
Oread sat down upon.
Open register, winding stair,
Girl with bookie standing there.
Roy lips, dyef feet;
Girl on register looks so sweet.
Boy walks up; no mustache;
Anyhow, he makes a "mash."
Cheeks all glowing, eyes look bright;
Girl is a rival; all is right.
But boy likes another—can't tell who:
Thinks of her, and is true.
Mald distracted, takes a journey,
With broken heart, caused by——
Moral:
Pretty malden, by the stair,
On the register, not there;
For the youth with no man-tache,
May already have a "mash."
